Insight framework for suggesting hosted service and features based on detected usage patterns and behaviors

A computing device to provide scheduling services based on usage patterns and behavior, the computing device comprising:

• a communication interface configured to facilitate communication between the computing device and one or more servers and other computing devices;
• a memory configured to store instructions;
• and
• one or more processors coupled to the memory and the communication interface, the one or more processors configured to execute an insight module, wherein the insight module is configured to:
• retrieve relevant user information for meeting inference, wherein the relevant user information includes one or more of communications exchanged between a first user and a second user, collaborated documents between the first user and the second user, and common memberships of the first user and the second user;
• infer a need to schedule a meeting between the first user and the second user based on the retrieved relevant user information;
• determine a deadline for the meeting and available time slots of the first user;
• determine a portion of the first user's private calendar to render public for access by the second user by identifying a plurality of time slots representing meeting options for the meeting based on the deadline and the available time slots representing meeting options for the meeting based on the deadline and the available time slots of the first user, each of the plurality of time slots occurring prior to the deadline and being included in the available time slots of the first user;
• generate a user interface, the user interface including the determined portion of the first user's private calendar rendered public for access by the second user, wherein the plurality of time slots representing meeting options for the meeting are marked within the portion of the first user's private calendar rendered public for access by the second user;
• provide the user interface including the portion of the first user's private calendar rendered public within a calendar application accessible by the second user;
• and
• in response to receiving a selection among the plurality of time slots marked as meeting options from the second user through the user interface, automatically schedule the meeting on a calendar of the first user and a calendar of the second user and include at least a portion of the relevant user information in a meeting invite for the scheduled meeting.

A non-transitory computer-readable memory device with instructions stored thereon, which when executed by a computing device cause the computing device to provide scheduling services based on usage patterns and behavior, the instructions comprising:

• retrieving relevant user information for meeting inference, wherein the relevant user information includes one or more of communications exchanged between the first user and other users, collaborated documents between the first user and other users, and common memberships of the first user and other users;
• inferring a need to schedule a meeting between the first user and the other users based on the retrieved user information;
• determining a deadline for the meeting and available time slots of the first user;
• determining a portion of the first user's private calendar to render public for access by the second user by identifying a plurality of time slots representing meeting options for the meeting based on the deadline and the available time slots of the first user, each of the plurality of time slots occurring prior to the deadline and being included in the available time slots of the first user;
• generating a user interface, the user interface including the determined portion of the first user's private calendar rendered public for access by the second user, wherein the plurality of time slots representing meeting options for the meeting are marked within the portion of the first user's private calendar rendered public for access by the second user;
• providing the user interface including the portion of the first user's calendar private rendered public within a calendar application accessible by the second user;
• and
• in response to receiving a selection among the plurality of time slots marked as meeting options from the second user through the user interface, automatically scheduling the meeting on the calendar of the first user and a calendar of the second user and including at least a portion of the relevant user information in a meeting invite for the scheduled meeting.
